eTakeoff
eTakeoff
eTakeoff Dimension is a complete electronic viewer and PDF takeoff software solution for estimators across all construction disciplines. Basic is a free viewing, printing and takeoff tool. Its purpose is two-fold. First, it’s an excellent introduction to eTakeoff and provides simple measurement capabilities on its own. If you aren’t an estimator or only have simple takeoff needs, then Basic may be all you need. However, Basic is actually a powerful complement to our Advanced and Premier products. Basic is perfect as a free add-on for everyone else in your office who needs to view or print plans. eTakeoff combines the power of Togal.AI with SnapAI, our patented AI technology that enhances eTakeoff Dimension Premier with inherent AI capabilities. SnapAI enables point, logical line, and polyline selection, cutting electronic takeoff time in half by allowing an estimator to instantly grab corner points or entire line measurements instead of having to click on each end of the line. -
